EXOTIC MUSHROOM STUFFED LEG OF LAMB

INGREDIENTS

2kg leg of lamb, deboned and butterflied

200g DENNY exotic mushrooms

100g kalamata olives, pitted

30g fresh parsley

15g fresh origanum

75g pine nuts

2 cloves garlic, finely diced

1.5kgs large potatoes

1 tsp dried herbs

Olive oil

Salt & Pepper

METHOD

Preheat oven to 200˚C.

Cut the potatoes in half and par boil them until just tender. Drain.

Slice the exotic mushrooms and fry in olive oil until golden brown and crispy.

Roughly chop the olives, parsley, origanum and pine nuts. Combine in a bowl along with the finely diced garlic and the cooked mushrooms. Season to taste.

Place the butterflied leg of lamb on a clean working surface. Cover with stuffing and then roll up into a log shape. Tie up with butcher’s string to keep the filling inside.

Place the par boiled potatoes in the bottom of a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and season well. Toss them to coat.

Place the stuffed lamb on top of the potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and dried herbs. Rub the seasoning all over the lamb.

Place in the preheated oven and roast for 60 - 90 minutes depending on how you like your lamb done.

Allow lamb to rest and then carve and serve with the potatoes and a side salad.
